Plastic Tube Flaring System
Features
Technical Data
The Swagelok Model FTF 1000 is a complete, easy-tooperate tool for precision flaring of 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, and 1 in. plastic tubing. The self-contained fixtures align and support the tubing during the flaring process, while the electronic controls ensure accurate, uniform tubing flares. With a cycle time of approximately one minute, the plastic tube flaring system reduces installation time. ■ Ready-to-install flared tube end is complete in three easy steps: heat, clamp, and flare ®
■ Five mandrel sizes are built into the fixture—no loose mandrels to misplace or damage ■ Flared end is “cool to the touch” at the end of the cycle— no additional cool down time is required ■ Flaring process takes about a minute; flared tube can be used immediately or stored for later use ■ Controlled process minimizes post-forming shrinkage to ensure accurate, repeatable results ■ Finished tube flare matches the nose geometry of the fitting promoting excellent sealing performance at make-up
Ram arm actuates the ram which pushes the mandrel into the heated tube end.

Specifications Power requirements: 110 V (ac), 60 Hz Heat source: Radial conduction Dimensions: 14 W 3 16.9 L 3 10.5 H in. (356 3 430 3 267 mm) Programmable Electronic Control Ranges: Temperature: 100 to 300°C (212 to 572°F) Heat time: 10 to 100 seconds Cooling time: 10 to 100 seconds
Clamp arm actuates the clamping fixture to hold the tube end in place.
Clamping fixture holds the tube end on the mandrel during the forming cycle.
Programmable electronic controls ensure a precise, repeatable flaring process with ■ digital readout of time and temperature ■ automatic timing of heating and forming cycles ■ visual and audible alarm to indicate end of cycle.
Heater block accommodates five different tube sizes and provides quick, uniform heating of the tube end. Mandrels, in five different tube sizes, are designed for precision forming of the tube flare.

Operation See the Swagelok Plastic Tube Flaring System User’s Manual for operating instructions. Create ready-to-install flared tube ends with the electronically controlled Swagelok FTF 1000 tube flaring system. Heating the tube.
Clamping the tube.
Flaring the tube.
Result: The precision-formed flared tube end is ready for immediate installation or it can be stocked for later use.
Flare Comparison ■ Conventional room-tem-
perature and heat-flaring processes are operator dependent which can produce inconsistent results. ■ The tube end is stretched from the inside only, and does not conform fully to the fitting nose. ■ Considerable post-forming shrinkage can affect connection make-up and performance.

■ The Swagelok FTF 1000
tube flaring system is an electronically controlled process ensuring accurate and repeatable results. ■ The tube end is formed from both inside and outside of the tube. The finished flare conforms more precisely to the fitting nose. ■ Minimal post-forming shrinkage promotes excellent connection make-up and performance.
